Lars Wingefors AB has formed W. Aviation AB, a new group that consolidates its aviation-related activities. The entity brings together operations in airline services, aircraft maintenance, leasing, and ground handling.
The move follows Lars Wingefors AB’s recent acquisition of Täby Air Maintenance AB (TAM) from the Erik Thun Group. TAM, based in Örebro, Sweden, provides maintenance and modification services for regional aircraft including the Saab 340, Saab 2000, and ATR models. The deal, announced in October 2025, also included three Saab 2000 aircraft now available for leasing, supported by TAM’s engineering expertise.
Lars Wingefors AB, the private investment firm of Swedish entrepreneur Lars Wingefors—founder and former CEO of Embracer Group—already owned Sola Air, a Karlstad-based airline operating regional flights to Stockholm and Copenhagen while engaging in aircraft leasing. The consolidation under W. Aviation AB integrates TAM with Sola Air and other aviation assets, centralizing expertise across civil and defense sectors.
Under Erik Thun ownership, TAM had developed a global reputation for maintenance services since 1989. The shift positions the combined operations for expanded activities in the regional aviation market.
